School board authorizes president to execute agreements under CDBG-DR for Hurricane Ida recovery
Summary
The board adopted a resolution allowing the board president to sign agreements to implement Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds related to Hurricane Ida; staff said the district’s projects will follow board recommendations and will not be jointly directed by the parish council.
The Terrebonne Parish School Board voted Sept. 2 to adopt a resolution authorizing the board president to execute agreements necessary to implement Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds for Hurricane Ida recovery. The resolution authorizes the board president to sign agreements for grant-funded recovery work the district will undertake. Board members asked about oversight and coordination with the parish council; staff clarified that project selection and use of the funds will proceed through recommendations presented to the school board and “exclusively to the board, not in conjunction with the parish council.” District staff told the board that some approved CDBG-DR funds will support work at Fletcher Elementary (identified by staff as a near-term project). No public comment on the resolution was recorded at the meeting. The transcript records the motion to adopt the resolution and states the motion passed; no roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the meeting minutes.
